Justin Tobler 16fd6c85e4 help: include SHA implementation in version info
When the `--build-options` flag is used with git-version(1), additional
information about the built version of Git is printed. During build
time, different SHA implementations may be configured, but this
information is not included in the version info.

Add the SHA implementations Git is built with to the version info by
requiring each backend to define a SHA1_BACKEND or SHA256_BACKEND symbol
as appropriate and use the value in the printed build options.

Junio C Hamano 870c74987b Merge branch 'tc/zlib-ng-fix'
"git version --build-options" stopped showing zlib version by
mistake due to recent refactoring, which has been corrected.

Toon Claes 2b1e0f8cd5 help: print zlib-ng version number
When building against zlib-ng, the header file `zlib.h` is not included,
but `zlib-ng.h` is included instead. It's `zlib.h` that defines
`ZLIB_VERSION` and that macro is used to print out zlib version in
`git-version(1)` with `--build-options`. But when it's not defined, no
version is printed.

`zlib-ng.h` defines another macro: `ZLIBNG_VERSION`. Use that macro to
print the zlib-ng version in `git version --build-options` when it's
set. Otherwise fallback to `ZLIB_VERSION`.

Toon Claes 49d9cd8dea help: include git-zlib.h to print zlib version
In 41f1a8435a (git-compat-util: move include of "compat/zlib.h" into
"git-zlib.h", 2025-01-28) some code was refactored to enable easier
linking against zlib-ng.

This removed `zlib.h` being indirectly included in `help.c`. As this
file uses `ZLIB_VERSION` to print the version number of zlib when
running git-version(1) with `--build-options`, this resulted in a
regression.

Include `git-zlib.h` directly into `help.c` to print zlib version
information. This brings back the zlib version in the output of
`git version --build-options`.

Scott Chacon 4e3dd47c9d help: interpret boolean string values for help.autocorrect
A help.autocorrect value of 1 is currently interpreted as "wait 1
decisecond", which can be confusing to users who believe they are setting a
boolean value to turn the autocorrect feature on.

Interpret the value of help.autocorrect as either one of the accepted list
of special values ("never", "immediate", ...), a boolean or an integer. If
the value is 1, it is no longer interpreted as a decisecond value of 0.1s
but as a true boolean, the equivalent of "immediate". If the value is 2 or
more, continue treating it as a decisecond wait time.

False boolean string values ("off", "false", "no") are now equivalent to
"never", meaning that guessed values are still shown but nothing is
executed. True boolean string values are interpreted as "immediate".

Patrick Steinhardt 7720dbe99b help: fix leaking return value from `help_unknown_cmd()`
While `help_unknown_cmd()` would usually die on an unknown command, it
instead returns an autocorrected command when "help.autocorrect" is set.
But while the function is declared to return a string constant, it
actually returns an allocated string in that case. Callers thus aren't
aware that they have to free the string, leading to a memory leak.

Fix the function return type to be non-constant and free the returned
value at its only callsite.

Note that we cannot simply take ownership of `main_cmds.names[0]->name`
and then eventually free it. This is because the `struct cmdname` is
using a flex array to allocate the name, so the name pointer points into
the middle of the structure and thus cannot be freed.

Patrick Steinhardt b92266b79c config: make dependency on repo in `read_early_config()` explicit
The `read_early_config()` function can be used to read configuration
where a repository has not yet been set up. As such, it is optional
whether or not `the_repository` has already been initialized. If it was
initialized we use its commondir and gitdir. If not, the function will
try to detect the Git directories by itself and, if found, also parse
their config files.

This means that we implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Make this
dependency explicit by passing a `struct repository`. This allows us to
again drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define in "config.c".

Patrick Steinhardt e7da938570 global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.

It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.

Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit

For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).

Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

Jeff King 89086c9466 help: handle NULL value for alias.* config
When showing all config with "git help --all", we print the list of
defined aliases. But our config callback to do so does not check for a
NULL value, meaning a config block like:

  [alias]
  foo

will cause us to segfault. We should detect and complain about this in
the usual way.

Since this command is purely informational (and we aren't trying to run
the alias), we could perhaps just generate a warning and continue. But
this sort of misconfiguration should be pretty rare, and the error
message we will produce points directly to the line of config that needs
to be fixed. So just generating the usual error should be OK.

Glen Choo 8868b1ebfb config: pass kvi to die_bad_number()
Plumb "struct key_value_info" through all code paths that end in
die_bad_number(), which lets us remove the helper functions that read
analogous values from "struct config_reader". As a result, nothing reads
config_reader.config_kvi any more, so remove that too.

In config.c, this requires changing the signature of
git_configset_get_value() to 'return' "kvi" in an out parameter so that
git_configset_get_<type>() can pass it to git_config_<type>(). Only
numeric types will use "kvi", so for non-numeric types (e.g.
git_configset_get_string()), pass NULL to indicate that the out
parameter isn't needed.

Outside of config.c, config callbacks now need to pass "ctx->kvi" to any
of the git_config_<type>() functions that parse a config string into a
number type. Included is a .cocci patch to make that refactor.

The only exceptional case is builtin/config.c, where git_config_<type>()
is called outside of a config callback (namely, on user-provided input),
so config source information has never been available. In this case,
die_bad_number() defaults to a generic, but perfectly descriptive
message. Let's provide a safe, non-NULL for "kvi" anyway, but make sure
not to change the message.

Glen Choo a4e7e317f8 config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

Simon Gerber 0918d08887 help.c: fix autocorrect in work tree for bare repository
Currently, auto correction doesn't work reliably for commands which must
run in a work tree (e.g. `git status`) in Git work trees which are
created from a bare repository.

As far as I'm able to determine, this has been broken since commit
659fef199f (help: use early config when autocorrecting aliases,
2017-06-14), where the call to `git_config()` in `help_unknown_cmd()`
was replaced with a call to `read_early_config()`. From what I can tell,
the actual cause for the unexpected error is that we call
`git_default_config()` in the `git_unknown_cmd_config` callback instead
of simply returning `0` for config entries which we aren't interested
in.

Calling `git_default_config()` in this callback to `read_early_config()`
seems like a bad idea since those calls will initialize a bunch of state
in `environment.c` (among other things `is_bare_repository_cfg`) before
we've properly detected that we're running in a work tree.

All other callbacks provided to `read_early_config()` appear to only
extract their configurations while simply returning `0` for all other
config keys.

This commit changes the `git_unknown_cmd_config` callback to not call
`git_default_config()`. Instead we also simply return `0` for config
keys which we're not interested in.

Additionally the commit adds a new test case covering `help.autocorrect`
in a work tree created from a bare clone.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 8c9e292dc0 doc txt & -h consistency: add missing options and labels
Fix various issues of SYNOPSIS and -h output syntax where:

 * Options such as --force were missing entirely
 * ...or the short option, such as -f

 * We said "opts" or "options", but could instead enumerate
   the (small) set of supported options

 * Options that were missing entirely (ls-remote's --sort=<key>)

   As we can specify "--sort" multiple times (it's backed by a
   string-list" it should really be "[(--sort=<key>)...]", which is
   what "git for-each-ref" lists it as, but let's leave that issue for
   a subsequent cleanup, and stop at making these consistent. Other
   "ref-filter.h" users share the same issue, e.g. "git-branch.txt".

 * For "verify-tag" and "verify-commit" we were missing the "--raw"
   option.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 5cf88fd8b0 git-compat-util.h: use "UNUSED", not "UNUSED(var)"
As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in
2174b8c75de (Merge branch 'jk/unused-annotation' into next,
2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where
it occurs.

Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.

This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is
actually use" part of 9b24034754 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro,
2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to
implement a replacement for that functionality.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 844739ba27 git docs: add a category for file formats, protocols and interfaces
Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces"
section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the
documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over
to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository,
command and file interfaces" section.

This makes the technical documentation more accessible and
discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had
no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from
our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these
docs.

So let's start moving those over, starting with just the
"bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1 (doc: describe
Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new
gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git
internal format documentation over.

Unfortunately the syntax of the current Documentation/technical/*.txt
is not the same (when it comes to section headings etc.) as our
Documentation/*.txt documentation, so change the relevant bits of
syntax as we're moving this over.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason d976c5100f git docs: add a category for user-facing file, repo and command UX
Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the
main "git help git" manual page. Move things that belong under this
new criteria from the generic "Guides" section.

The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81 (git.txt: add list of
guides, 2020-08-05). It makes sense to have e.g. "giteveryday(7)" and
"gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides".

But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of
what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to
"giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)".

An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User
formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5
in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions,
e.g. /etc/passwd".

So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats"
would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it
somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes
of gitcli(7).

Let's instead pick a name that's closer to the generic term "User
interface", which is really what this documentation discusses: General
user-interface documentation that doesn't obviously belong elsewhere.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 936b8eb6c8 help.c: remove common category behavior from drop_prefix() behavior
Change the behavior of the "git" prefix stripping for CAT_guide so
that we don't try to strip the "git-" prefix in that case. We should
be stripping either "git" or "git-" depending on the category. This
change makes it easier to add extra "category" conditions in
subsequent commits.

Before this we'd in principle strip a "git-" prefix from a "guide" in
command-list.txt, in practice we have no such entry there. As we don't
have any entry that looks like "git-foo" in command-list.txt this
changes nothing in practice, but it makes the intent of the code
clearer. In that hypothetical case we'd now strip it down to "-foo",
not "foo".

When this code was added in cfb22a02ab (help: use command-list.h for
common command list, 2018-05-10) the only entries in command-list.txt
that didn't begin with "git-" were "gitweb" and "gitk".

Then when the "guides" special-case was added in 1b81d8cb19 (help:
use command-list.txt for the source of guides, 2018-05-20) we had the
various "git" (not "git-") prefixed "guide" entries, which the
"CAT_guide" case handles.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2f8b3ea662 help.c: refactor drop_prefix() to use a "switch" statement"
Refactor the drop_prefix() function in in help.c to make it easier to
strip prefixes from categories that aren't "CAT_guide". There are no
functional changes here, by doing this we make a subsequent functional
change's diff smaller.

As before we first try to strip "git-" unconditionally, if that works
we'll return the stripped string. Then we'll strip "git" if the
command is in "CAT_guide".

This means that we'd in principle strip "git-foo" down to "foo" if
it's in CAT_guide. That doesn't make much sense, and we don't have
such an entry in command-list.txt, but let's preserve that behavior
for now.

While we're at it remove a stray newline that had been added after the
"return name;" statement.

Jeff Hostetler dd77cf61a1 help: include fsmonitor--daemon feature flag in version info
Add the "feature: fsmonitor--daemon" message to the output of
`git version --build-options`.

The builtin FSMonitor is only available on certain platforms and
even then only when certain Makefile flags are enabled, so print
a message in the verbose version output when it is available.

This can be used by test scripts for prereq testing.  Granted, tests
could just try `git fsmonitor--daemon status` and look for a 128 exit
code or grep for a "not supported" message on stderr, but these
methods are rather obscure.

The main advantage is that the feature message will automatically
appear in bug reports and other support requests.

This concept was also used during the development of Scalar for
similar reasons.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 93de1b6999 help: don't print "\n" before single-section output
Fix a formatting regression in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt
for the source of guides, 2018-05-20). Adjust the output of "git help
--guides" and any other future single-section commands so that a
newline isn't inserted before the only section being printed.

This changes the output from:

    $ git help --guides

    The Git concept guides are:
    [...]

To:

    $ git help --guides
    The Git concept guides are:
    [...]

That we started printing an extra "\n" in 1b81d8cb19 wasn't intended,
but an emergent effect of moving all of the printing of "git help"
output to code that was ready to handle printing N sections.

With 1b81d8cb19 we started using the "print_cmd_by_category()"
function added earlier in the same series, or in cfb22a02ab (help:
use command-list.h for common command list, 2018-05-10).

Fixing this formatting nit is easy enough. Let's have all of the
output that would like to be "\n"-separated from other lines emit its
own "\n". We then adjust "print_cmd_by_category()" to only print a
"\n" to delimit the sections it's printing out.
